Watch a baby between six and nine months old, and you will observe the basic concepts of geometry being learned. Once the baby has mastered the idea that space is three-dimensional, it reaches out and begins grasping various kinds of objects. It is then, from perhaps nine to fifteen months, that the concepts of sets and numbers are formed. So far, so good. But now an ominous development takes place. The nerve fibers in the brain insulate themselves in such a way that the baby begins to hear sounds very precisely. Soon it picks up language, and it is then brought into direct communication with adults. From this point on, it is usually downhill all the way for mathematics, because the child now becomes exposed to all the nonsense words and beliefs of the community into which it has been so unfortunate as to have been born. Nature, having done very well by the child to this point, having permitted it the luxury of thinking for itself for eighteen months, now abandons it to the arbitrary conventions and beliefs of society. But at least the child knows something of geometry and numbers, and it will always retain some memory of the early halcyon days, no matter what vicissitudes it may suffer later on. The main reservoir of mathematical talent in any society is thus possessed by children who are about two years old, children who have just learned to speak fluently.
According to the passage, which of the following activities would teach a baby about geometry?
选项
A、Picking up a wooden block.
B、Recognizing the number 2.
C、Uttering a nonsense word.
D、Looking at distant objects.
答案
A
解析
作者在文章的开头说,如果你对生下来6个月或9个月的孩子进行观察,你就会注意到孩子正在学习几何概念。一旦孩子掌握了空间具有三维性这一概念,孩子就会伸出手开始抓任何物体。抓木头块自然有利于孩子学习几何。
